I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I thought everyone knew.

My once pure mind has thus been corrupted. :)

loove reading your dispatches John! I feel like I miss out on so much since Twitter remains the center of the tech universe and I was never a fan; but not so much with you curating the best of!

I got my Hardfork fix this AM (Kevin Roose and Casey Newton) so between you and them I feel a bit more caught up on the catastrophe or not of Mythos.

a 27yo bug in OpenBSD... I learned to code on BSD Unix: Pascal/csh/vi

Most importantly: I got my daughter a cat butthole calendar last xmas ✨

I’m glad you continue to enjoy them, Andrew, and that you take time out of your day to read them.

Even if Mythos isn’t a big deal now, one day soon we will get models that actually live up to all of the claims people are making about Mythos. OpenAI is rumored to be releasing their Spud model on Thursday (take that with a grain of salt). Since ChatGPT 5.4 Thinking is close to Mythos on the benchmarks people think the next iteration will surpass them. Of course, this is all hype. We’ll have to wait until it’s actually released before we know for sure.

I hope your daughter enjoys her calendar.
